MGMAT confusion?

Question

Hi

Is it a good strategy to finish all MGMAT guides without the advanced part which is there at the end of every guide then test urself on gmat prep and then come back to the advanced part.

If not then how important is it.

My Quant is still in 33 average and verbal 26.

So is it a good plan to read the whole theory at once and then test myself....?

I read a post by a representative from Manhattan a while back that said to do all the main sections of each book before going into the advanced sections. The goal is to build a solid foundation before getting into advanced methods.

ohk but is also good to complete the basic part..then test yourself then comeback to the advanced part...

Or do it together then test?

CJT1983 · Answer

I wouldn't be comfortable telling you how to study, as I haven't taken the test myself and don't really have any advice to offer in terms of test prep. I just remember a representative from Manhattan posting that you should work through the main part of each book to get a solid foundation before moving into any advanced sections.

Hey,

We definitely feel that a strong grasp on fundamental concepts is more important than focusing on just learning how to solve difficult questions. In fact, our instructors have sometimes found that the best way to get high scorers to do better in quant is to take them through drills in the Foundations of GMAT Math book. The less you have to think about the content and the more familiar you are with it, the better you will be able to apply these concepts easily to more tricky problems.

That being said, the advice contained in our advanced sections is definitely worth reading. There are some good strategies in there that will really help you hone your skills once you have that foundational knowledge that is key to answering questions. The strategies covered in the advanced sections are particularly important for those looking to score high, but can also be used by any level.

Best,
